2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FL63 HDK

The Vauxhall Insignia currently fails the roadworthiness standard. The most recent test on 9 April 2026 at 141,327 miles returned a failure with no defects recorded, an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a clean pass. Prior to that, the vehicle showed a worsening short-term trend: it failed on 4 April 2025 at 133,191 miles, passed six days later on 10 April 2025 at 133,229 miles, and then passed cleanly in 2024 and 2023. The back-to-back failure and pass in April 2025 suggests a rectified defect or a documentation error, but the 2026 failure with no listed defects leaves the live status unresolved. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 2013 vehicle. The record shows 117,113 miles in April 2023, 125,314 miles in April 2024, 133,229 miles by April 2025, and 141,327 miles by April 2026. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 8,100 miles per year across the logged period, below the 10,871-mile average implied by age. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear. The DVSA data itself is sparse on faults, with every pass and fail carrying no recorded advisories or defects. A buyer must not rely on the absent advisories as proof of condition. The 2026 failure with zero defects recorded demands clarification from the testing station or seller before any purchase. Given the age and 141,327 miles, in-person inspection should target front suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, and subframe corrosion even though the MOT log omits them. The April 2025 fail-pass sequence warrants scrutiny of the rectification evidence, such as the failure reason and invoice. Without defect lines in the record, we cannot chart a mechanical degradation trend. The clean passes from 2023 to 2025 imply previous owners kept the car to minimum test standards, but the unexplained 2026 failure signals either a lapse in upkeep or a system error. Verify the current test certificate and physical condition before committing funds.
